It happened just after midnight in the 800 block of West Central Boulevard.

Authorities said 46-year-old Roger Franks was walking to the Coalition for the Homeless to go to sleep when a man on a bicycle shot him.

Franks then ran to the nearby Juvenile Assessment Center for help and was taken to an area hospital. He is in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries.

Muffet Robinson, director of the Coalition for the Homeless, says she has read many disturbing reports about an increase in crimes against the homeless.

"How sad that someone who is homeless and who is coming for shelter and food for the night is going to be attacked," she said.

The shooter is described as a black man about 20 years old with a mustache and short haircut.

Police said they are handling the incident as an assault and battery and are searching for any clues that may lead them to the shooter.

Robinson believes the man may have been attacked because people think the homeless are easy targets, and studies show they don't report the crimes committed against them.

"People need to be vigilant, be careful, and it's a shame they have to do that. Any of us should be able to walk on the street without fear of being accosted in any way. Just because one is homeless, that's not a reason to take advantage of them," she said.
